ditkafan, any luck as yet with fabbing up cables based on the one you received? Curious to hear how you're coming along.

Rational, first time checking this thread in about a week and a half.  I had a death in the family and have been (still currently) out of town.  Hope to be back home on the east coast in another week or so... I need to order the items to fabricate my first cable, but the good news is that I had created an amazon list and found everything I needed there fairly cheap.  I'll touch base again in a towards the end of the next week.  Thanks for the understanding.

Please take a look at page 1 of the AKiTiO discussion: http://forum.techinferno.com/enclosures-adapters/7205-us%24189-akitio-thunder2-pcie-box-16gbps-tb2.html

There is a short Zotac card that can fit, if you remove the fan shroud!

Dschijn - quick question on the zotac gtc 970.  Is removing the fan shroud as easy as removing a couple of screws or is there more to it than that?  I ask as I would like to be able to keep the card warrantable in case of any card failure issues.  Zotac seems to have a solid warranty program (from what I read).

ignore me... should have read the rest of the thread before asking my question... per a post of page 3, its 4 screws

@Alarming0 cool, i'm glad you heard back from them. If anyone wants this one i'll keep mine around then, but can't beat getting a freshly made cable. 

I had no luck trying to buy a cable from antron... It seems very hit or miss over there depending on who you get when you email them    I'd still love to purchase the cable from kblack21 if you are up for selling...

Rational - for being so nice and letting me get it when you had dibs, I'd gladly let you have my first cable I put together - at no cost of course

Ordering ready-to-use cables for Dell DA-2 and Akitio Thunder2 from AntronST:

Send an email to [email protected] with the following information:

 

Paypal email address

Physical Address

Phone number

Part # / quantity

 

The part numbers for the two different types of cables are as follows:

 

2x6-pin version ($20):

Part #: AeGPU8P2PCIE6SLPBARREL

 

2x6+2-pin version ($24):

Part #: AeGPU8P2PCIE6+2BARREL

 

They will then invoice you for the cable.

 

Antron have less than 10 of the 6-pins as far as I have gathered and a similar amount of the others so this will not necessarily last long. Good luck!

Just sent antron an email.  I'll let you know how it goes.

Hey Sorry @Alarming0 and everyone else, i've been a little busy. Here are the photos I promised. I bought it from Antronst, as many of you probably have been trying to. Not working on any profit, it cost me $24 and i'd ship it for $24 to break even. I also bought a barrel plug to 6 pin for $18 from ScryptMiner64 if any one can use that... oh boy i didn't know what I was doing when I started this haha (But hopefully any of this stuff can help you guys)

 

kblack21:  Do you still have your cable from Antronst for sale?  I would love to take it off your hands.  I'm sure I could whip one up on my own, but I would love to have a proven cable to use for my first build.  Additionally as a way to help pay back the forum, I would be willing to run down to my local electrical supply store and price out the parts I need to make additional cables at cost to help other board members who would prefer ready made cables.  As an electrical engineer I am fairly handy when it comes to these types of tasks.  

thanks! -Ditkafan
